I really, really hate #Javascript 's

d = new Date()

syntax. Just find it ugly. It obviously should be

d = Date.new()

so...

Object.getOwnPropertyNames(globalThis).map(el => globalThis[el]).filter(el => ((!!el) && (typeof(el) === 'function') && el.prototype)).forEach(el => { el.new = function(...args) { return new el(...args); } } )

d = Date.new(2015,1,1)

ta da!

(Yes, yes, I'm sure this is a terrible idea and I am bad and should feel bad.)

then expanded into a novel in 2018:

I've been recommend the former for years, but until looking up links for this post, I didn't know about the latter!

If only they'd crushed a chalice and said "groovy" it would've been 11/10.
